Racial Abilities? Will they be in War...pretty simple question
Comments
LoL
The abilities are based around Careers, but the Careers are based around the Races. A WAAAAAAGH spell or attack isn't something you will see High Elves doing since it is something you would associate with the Greenskins.
It would be safe to say that every single class has their own ability's. You may be thinking along the lines of "Racial Ability's" if you were coming from the point of view where all classes learn the same skills; Such as in WoW, put a Dwarf Warrior next to an Orc warrior and the only difference is the racial ability and it's outward apperance. From what has been explained by the Devs however this will not be the case in WAR.
Example - Chaos Magus (Caster type class) Vs Empire Bright Wizard (Similar caster type class). Although both of these classes share the similar Archetype their spells are completely different. A bright wizards spells deal ONLY in fire, heat, flame, and anything else really really hot. On the flip side, the magus dealths in very dark magic and casts lots of evil things that want to harm, maim, and damage you. Each caster however should have major differences in what their spells look like and what the effect the spells have on opponents.
Odds are that these classes will have their similarities (they both shoot magic from a distance) but only enough that they will share the same archetype together, outside of that they should play differently in both action and feel. So in a final answer to your post, NO it doesn't appear as though "Racial Abilities" will be present since every single class is supposed to function differently.
It was a simple question ppl, and required by the looks of it a simple answer. Which is infact YES contrary to what some of you think there will be RACIAL abilities. Go look at the Combat System video on WAR website to get more info, hint: its got to do with racial moral abilities.
Orcs multiply like fungi, but I doubt we will see that in game.
I agree with previous poster. As each race has 4 its own individual classes, anything that could be called a racial ability, would probly appear as a skill more or less, just because of the class it is. When I think of "racial abilities" in general, it makes me think of VG, where it race changed stats per class a little, and had their own unique skill that was avaible to the race no matter what class they had.
Let me just point out though that this will not be the typical racial abilities I believe you are picturing. These are racial MORALE abilities which means you will most likely not be able to use these anywhere and/or anytime.

Correct, you must be in combat for a set amount of time in order to use these. You can not use them any time you please, except during cooldown periods. The longer you are in combat, the more morale you build up.
I wonder if it's that hard to even read a tiny little bit about a game before posting pointless questions... If the OP could do as much as check the classes he would see that every race has 4 diferent classes so the whole question doesnt make sense...
You would think that people who wanted to find information would head over to the official site first, and then after head, head over to WarhammerAlliance second to search for specific bits of information before posting threads, but it seems that just isn't how people are anymore and everyone just posts whatever.
We had two threads over at WHA talking about Sorceress being the Ranged DPS, and how you can play as both Male and Female Sorcs, and it was confirmed days ago. Unfortunately, somebody today just posted threads asking the very same topics asking for us to confirm it, instead of just taking twenty minutes to read it themselves considering both threads were withing the first five threads of the Sorc section.
Just let this thread die and get over it that people just open threads for every little question
Unfortunately this OP has a bad habit of asking repetative questions. I dignify myself in repsonding to them for the sake of those who are just starting to look into the game and may not be very "Forum Savy".
Angry little boy. I can ask anything I want and it will be answered cause not everyone is a little twit like you. Grow Up...
Thanks everyone with some good comments.

Well i was choosing if i should in fact answer to this, or just ignore it, but then i found that the hypocrisy in that whole answer too blatant to be ignored, so i m gonna decompose your answer so that you can better understand why i think it's hypocritical.
First of all you call me "Angry little boy", i m far from angry and my first post didnt show any anger, i m far from little with 6'2, and well the boy part you got that right
;
Second, when you say "I can ask anything i want and it will be answered" we cant really say it's mature, ok you didnt say your werent a "little twit" you just said i was... point taken... but the hypocrisy in that part is clearly demonstrated with the childish thought that you can ask anything that as already been asked 20 times and that you dont show the smallest interest in even researching a little before posting whatever you want".
Third, if you check your answers some ppl didnt understand your question as how simplistic and pointless it really was, and the persons who saw the question for what it was answered to you the way it should.
Fourth and last, i did answer your question in my first answer... but you were too busy bashing me for telling the truth...
Sorry about my english since it's neither my first or second language is english it can be inadequate in long posts.
Hope you can now check the site www.warhammeronline.com for more basic information.

To be honest, I wasnt picturing anything. I just think that racial abilities was defined by the fact that there was some skill, any skill, which is race specific. It doesnt matter if it can only be used for 1 second every 1 hour, its the fact that only that specific race got it no matter what class they choose.
Anyway I didnt mean to confuse anyone and I also pointed out it was to do with moral in the first post I made.

Well it was sort of a indirect statement I made, i should of added "guys" after you. The thing is his question was very vague and the correlation most people draw from it is Will WAR have racial abilities like WoW racial abilities. Meaning will there be passive racial skills or active abilities.
